EB The Springfield Gill; State Register
says: Several years ago President Hayes
was invited by the managers of the. Illinois
State Fair to exhibit himself at an annual
pumpkin show in this city. He accepted the
invitation, and while in our midst he and
Mrs. Hayes, most estimable lady, by the
way, held public reception at the Governors
mansion. The people, without regard to
race, color or political predictions quite
generally called, and treated the distinguish
ed strangers with all possible respect, not
withstanding Mr.. Hayes was elevated to the
Presidency by the most colossal political
crime known to the history of this country.
Nobody saw any politics in il, and certain
ly not asingle Democrat thought of "endors7
ing' the returning board fraud by treating
the President with civility. There is of
course no more "politics" in President
Cleveland's proposed visit to the G. A. R.
encampment at st. Louis than there was in
Hayes visit to the Illinois pumpkin show
futile, of Iowa, evidently has poor opinion
of President Cleveland, but he can't think
less of him than Illinois Democrats did of
Hayes. The latter, however, are decent, and
would not insult an American President
Tuttle is wholly indecent, and would. That's
the difference.

Of 1877 feet, 40 feet in the Trenton and
lays all the rest of the wells in the

John Hankey, Joe Sands, Frank Roath
and several others were present to see
the developments, and as soon as pay
dirt was struck there was a mighty
hustling and soon the oil burst forth
with tremendous force. 1t was soon
turned into 600 barrel tank which
was filled in a little over three hours.
The well was connected with the pipe
line Tuesday evening and at last re-
ports continued to gush. It's capacity
is reported at 1900 barrels and the
company evidently have another bo-
nanza, though the low price of oil is
shameful. The well was drilled by A.

A Cleveland man discovered birds

young swallows. Upon taking one bird
in his hand he was astonished to find
one of itslegs very thoroughly bandaged
with horse hair. Having removed the
hairs one by one he was still more aston

broken. Upon visiting the patient
the next day the leg was again bandaged
as efore. The bird surgeon was not

What to Do for Your Boy.

Home Painting and Decorating.
The worst mistake make by parents
is the mistake Of paying no attention to
the surface indications and of setting
their sons up in professions because
they want to see them in so-called gem
teel employment. Some people do this
when they are morally certain that the
place is not suited to the aspirant for it.
And it is wrong for parent to labor
hard and to live sparingly all his days
for the purpose Of giving his son start
in life, as it is called. Setting young
man afloat upon money left him by his
relatives is like tying bladders under
the arms of one who cannot swim; ten
chances to one he will lose them and
go to the bottom. Teach him how to
swim. and he will never need bladders.
Give him sound education, an honor
able trade or profession, and you will
have done enough for him. See to it,
as already said, that his morals are pure,
that his mind is cultivated and that his
whole nature, is made subservient to
the laws which govern mankind, and
you have given him what will be of
more value to him than would be the
wealth of the Indies without such safe
guards.

lis feelings and OCCASIONALLY during his

his feelings and occasionally during his
speech his voice would choke and he
with difficulty continued. The monu-
ment was accepted in the name of the
association by Colonel John NJ. Wander
slyce of Philadelphia.
Colonel r. Penn Smith then in q very
interesting speech turned over to the
memorial association the tablet of
Cushing's battery, which was also re-
ceived by Colonel Vanderslyce. The
crowd then moved near the famous
clump of trees where the Cowan's bat
terry monument is erected. When all
was ready Colonel Andrew Cowan in-
offered prayer. Mrs. Pickett was there,
ascended the platform, and Colonel
Cowan, rising, thanked her for her
presence and also welcomed the wife of
the commander Of the Philadelphia
brigade, whose husband tweuty-four
years ago, then an aide on Webb's
staff, brought him the order to place
his guns
WHERE THE MONUMENT NOW is,
and whom he had not seen again till
last night.
He then presented Serino E. Payne
as the orator, who spoke for about
twenty minutes. Then Colonel Cowan
transferred the monument to the
memorial association, in whose behalf
it was accepted by Captain S. q. Wag-
ner.
Lieutenant William Sawyers on be-
half of the battery then thanked Col.
Cowan for his efforts to bring about
this dedication and make ita success.
AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.
Perhaps the most interesting Incl
dent of the whole dedication was the
presentation by Colonel Cowan to the
| Pickett division association of sword
which he took during Pickett's famous
charge. 1t is about three feet long, the
handle is of mother of pearl and the
blade of finely polished steel. The way
it came into the possession of Colonel
Cowan was thus: During the charge 9
very young rebel officer jumped toward
the gun at which he was standing, but
was Immediately shot down and his
sword fell at the Colonel's feet. He
kept it but has never been able to re-
store it to the family of the officer anG
he has now given it to the division ir
order that they may take measures t.
see that it is returned to the proper
persons.
Major J. G. Crocker of Virginia &C
cepted it in the name of the Picket
division association, promising to dt
all that was possible to find the family
of the officer.
Colonel Cowan then introduced Gen
eral Baldy Smith and General Hunt Il
the assembly, by whom they were re
ceived with cheers. The party thel
broke up and returned to town.

SHARP CONVICTED.

ofBoodIers.

NEW YORK, July l.-Vigorous argu-
ments were made both by the defense
and prosecution in the Sharp trial,
Wednesday. There was no dispute
that $500, 900 was suddenly and hastily
raised by the Seventh-av. road, and
the defense failed at all times to tell
where it had gone. II was evident that
the money had been entirely used, but
no one could tell what for except for
bribery. Judge Barrett gave the jury
an impartial charge and they retired.
After an absence of 13 minutes they
filed in again and announced verdict
Of guilty, but with recommendation
for mercy. Their decision was reached
on the first ballot. AS Sharp stepped
from his carriage to enter the Jail, he
vigorously denied ever giving Fullgraf
or any other alderman penny. With
that he seemed to break down COM
pletely. Sentence will be passed July
13, and the penalty will be not more
than 10 wears at hard labor or 5000
fine or both,

Under the treaty each country is to charge and

change of merchandise parcels will be great

- In 1884, Mr.. Harper, or Hopper, of the
Fidelity Bank, was very loud in proclaiming
that if Cleveland was elected President he
would go out of business. He has gone out
and taken S6,Oc0, 600 of other peoples money
with him. Harper alias Hopper was one of
those truly good Republicans who never lost
an opportunity to revile Democrats and
charge them with incapacity and dishonesty
and lack of moral standing. There are a
good many more of the same kind who are
yet out of Jail, and you will find them all
abusing President Cleveland and saying that

Napoleon is one Of those handsome
county seats ofnorthern Ohio in which
the people justly take pride. 1t is one
of the prominent stations upon the
Wabash R., at the crossing of the pro-
posed Mansfield and Coldwater r. The
latter road is graded through the coun-
ty of Henry and adjacent counties, and
the abutments of the bridges are. built.
It is now said. that a new company
has control Of the route and is inclined
to finish the road soon.
The Maumee river winds its way
through the city and is finely bridged
at this point.
The court house and Jail buildings of
Henry county are located upon high
ground like citadel, in the center OF
Napoleon. Their court house is the
finest in Northwestern Ohio. These
county buildings cost s135,00O. The
county officers are happy lot of fellows
as one can meet with anywhere.

shots, however, the shrill shrieks of the
locomotive broke the Sabbath stiffness
as excursion after excursion reinforced
the crowds already thronging the

flashing arms and the mass of people
moving in all directions over the field
brings wildly to mind the scenes ofthe
great conflict. The morning was spent
in sightseeing and going over the field.
One house on Baltimore street, in which
rebel shell is sticking, attracted more

The Albany Argus says the Grand
Army, like the order of Knights of Labor, is
liable to lose respect and prestige by permit
ting mischievous demagogues like futile,
of Iowa, to misrepresent it and abuse its
name and authority. The President OF the
United States represents the Government
which the Union veterans fought to preserve,
and an insult to himwould be degradation
of the cause to which they devoted them
selves. Once an organization permits itself
to be used by blatant demagogues or mis-
chievous agitators and drawn into issues en-
tirely at variance with its fundamental prin-
ciples and opposed to american citizenship,
it quickly becomes demoralized and disin-
| tegrated. General William Tecumseh Sher-
man acted promptly, realizing the danger to
the Grand Army of allowing foul ul-mouthed
knave like Tuttle, of Iowa, to represent it,
and in penning his indignant remonstrance,
might have come to the conclusion, upon re-
fection, that there was little difference be-
tween his brother, Senator Sherman, and the
blatherskite Tuttle on the question of intol-
erance. Senator Sherman called the Demo,
cratic National Administration "Confeder-
ate Governments" and Blatherskite Tuttlt
called Cleveland "Copperhead President. y
Senator Sherman is Janus-faced dema.
gogue; good Lord and good Devil politi-
clan; and Tuttle is renegade Democrat who
left his party for public plunder and the
spoils of Office. Such knives thrive best al
the public crib.
